When I was recently told by a doctor not to eat broccoli or cauliflower anymore, I was looking for other tasty veggie options. After some research I decided to give Pimientos de Padrón a try and, as the recipe was so delicious, I now want to share it with you.

You’re in for extra scrumptious Pimientos de Padrón like you’ve never had them before.

3. In the meantime pre-heat your oven and grill a few slices of goat’s cheese until the cheese starts to bubble
4. In another pan, roast macadamia nuts until golden brown
5. Once everything is done, add the peppers to large bowl
6. Spoon pesto on top and toss until the peppers are covered evenly
